Summary

Protests erupted across the U.S. in response to Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Oval Office bullying of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Demonstrators gathered in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, waving Ukrainian flags and demanding continued U.S. support for Ukraine.

In Vermont, protesters disrupted Vance’s ski trip, criticizing his stance. Many labeled the White House meeting an “ambush” and condemned Trump’s ultimatum to Ukraine.

The protests reflected growing public frustration over the administration’s shifting stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.

    I mean they still have a point.

    Claiming Israel doing it is fine while helping Ukraine was a really wild thing to do.

    Though I still don’t understand why anyone thought Trump would do anything to stop Israel either.

      Helping Israel is messed up, but there’s probably only a handful of politicians who tried to stop it. Before Trump, it seemed like everyone supported Ukraine. It’s such a drastic change in the political climate that blaming Biden for everything Israel is a gross oversimplification and shifting of the blame that rightfully belongs on most of our government.
